Columbia, Feb. 1.—In cases where
owners of motor vehicles have remit
ted fels to the State Highway De
partment and have not received their
license plates there will be no prose
cution for violation of the law, says
a letter from the Attorney General
this afternoon to F. H. Murray, sec
retary of the department.
The Attorney General stated that he
had received many complaints about
the delay in the issuance of licenses.
“Under the view that I take of the
law,” said the Attorney General, “I
feel it my duty to advise them (the
complainants) that where the remit
tance was made in good faith to your
department in order to secure a li
cense before February 1, that I, as
Attorney General, will not press any
prosecutions against them and will dis
miss such prosecutions as may be
brought in such cases. This is not in
tended as a reflection upon your office,
but I hope you will be able to employ
sufficient clerical aid to issue the li
censes applied for without delay. If
the failure to issue license is due to
the inability of your office to issue
same -upon demand, I do not think
a penalty should be placed upon a
party where he has paid it in due
time.” * .
Mr. Angus Patterson went up to
Columbia one day last week on busi

Miss Emily Porter, who has been

Private Gordon W. Owens, of Camp

who has been quite sick at his home

The Rev. Mr. Morgan, of Pendle

P. M. Buckingham.
Monday was salesday, usually one
of the most largely attended of the
year, but owing to the cold weather
and the fact that the local merchants
were forced to close their doors under

At
of the vi
Heat Reaching 163 Degrees Is Hurled
Into One's Face Like Sheet
of Fire.
When ^he caravans In olden days
went up from Samarcnnd and Bokhara
to Mery for silks and carpets, or car
ried spices for Europe to the Caspian
ports, some of them occasionally wan
dered off into the desert of Kara-Kum,
and few of those ever returned. This
desert, which is smaller but more ter
rible than Sahara, came to be known
as “the tomb of caravans.”
If you were to venture Into the
desert of Kara-Kum you would travel
by , camel. At first you would pass
through a land of scrubby bushes and
rest at noon near a well surrounded
by a tiny native village at the bottom
of a dimple in the desert. And here
you would feel your first touch of the
desert heat—a heat that reaches 163
degrees in the sun and is hurled into
your face by the wind like a veritable
sheet of flame.
In the comparative cool of evening
jou would push on Into the desert
proper. Presently from the top of a
slight elevation you would see it reach
ing before you—a petrified storm at
sea, an ocean of sand. There Is
nothing but sand, and It Is tossed by
a ceaseless wind Into billows miles
long that creep forward perhaps a
foot a year, burying everything In
their path. The wind tear* banners
of flying sand from their crests as you
look, releasing etsrtdes that go rum-
btlng into the burning hollows.

T UB world shortage of farm products means continued high prices for every- *

acre produce more. ^
Now is the time to use Manure—the cheapest fertilizer.
The following comparison of the plant food value in commercial fertilizer and Manure •
bears evidence that it is to your interest from a cost standpoint to use Manure on your
land.

Furthermore the decaying organic matter in the Manure ie constantly
adding available plant food to the soil, is valuable both from a humus
standpoint as well as a land builder. Manure will show results for throe
years, and its cost divided through this period will show a much lower
cost per unit of plant food than any other fertiliser on the market

E ARE daily making shipments of this product into all sections of the country,
and it is being received with entire satisfaction on account of its excellent qual
ity Knd condition on arrival at destination.
It contains no objectionable matter such as trash, dirt, obnoxious grass seeds, etc.; oat
straw is the only bedding used, and the Manure naturally contains a small quantity, but
not sufficient to make it objectionable. Asa matter of fact it is worth more than its
weight, on account of its high value of potash, which makes it more valuable as a fer
tilizer.
